Bananas in Crete all year round!

Fruits in Crete grow in large numbers and almost all the year round. Surely many people know that bananas are grown on Crete. Bananas by the way, by their taste and nutritional properties are not inferior to imported. They are very, very delicious. Bananas on the island can be found, both in greenhouses and on the open ground. Local bananas are small. They are sometimes called mini bananas.

Bananas on the island were not always there. The first seedlings of banana palms appeared on Crete only in the early 20s of the last century. In food, local residents began to eat bananas only in the early 50’s of the XX century.

The main thing is that the bananas grown on the island of Crete are not treated with pesticides, which means they get to the shelves fresh, preserving all their nutritional properties and vitamins! You will find them almost all the year round.
